Yes, but no one was claiming a tape with Oswalds voice was sent to Dallas. They were claiming a tape with someone elses voice (other than Oswald) was sent to Dallas.
Therefore any later denials that a tape with Oswalds voice was sent to Dallas in the hours after the assassination were technically correct.
Right, but again as shown above:
no tapes - none - were sent to Dallas. Shanklin, who was in charge in Dallas, said that
no tapes were played for anyone. None of the agents in Dallas who heard Oswald talk after his arrest heard or were played
any tapes of anyone: either a tape with Oswald's voice or a tape with an impostor's voice or a tape of a third/unkown person or a tape of anyone at all. That is because the CIA in Mexico City didn't give any any tapes to the FBI agent assigned to collect the material. Hoover was misinformed.
The CIA told the FBI agent (Rudd), who was sent to Mexico City to gather material and bring it to Dallas, that the tapes of the calls had been erased, as was the usual procedure. He brought with him, as he stated in the memo mentioned above and sent to the FBI, transcripts of calls (and some photos) but no tapes.
From FBI agent James Hosty's book, "Assignment Oswald": "Rudd, who was actually an FBI agent, had flown in on a two-seat Navy fighter to personally either deliver a surveillance photo and a phone intercept transcript...."
Note: A transcript not a tape or tapes.
Did the CIA in Mexico City retain these tapes of the calls? And not erase them? Again, I think not but there's pretty good evidence that they did. I see no reason why they would; which makes me think, along with the counter evidence, that they didn't.
